I think I have a pretty similar experience, so what follows might interest you:

1) I used DFX before, and it seemed very ressource consuming compared to other apps, and yeah, my setup tend to crash, like yours.
AFAIC, I switched to Turnado and Tonestack. And I observed a big gain of performance.

Try those apps, Tonestack GO is free.

Whereas with a setup where I'm looping with pedals, if the pedal crashes(which does happen, I'm looking at you electro harmonix!) then I can still try to salvage the song acoustically for the rest of the time.

2) In Loopy, why don't you disable the monitoring in Loopy, and route your live playing within AUM ?
That way, if indeed you loose Loopy, you still can hear your direct signal.
(plus, you can eq, treat the signals separately)

4 years on and still no Masterpiece. Will it ever see the
Ight of day ? Loopy is the best app for getting ideas working fast. It’s absolutley brilliant and worth an upgrade at least. The new colour sceme looks great so why not just change the asthetics for now ?

And I have the Ipad Pro 9.7, So I should have less computing than you, and It's stable, now.

I returned to gigging with hardware loopers(the EH22500), but it freezes as well, ruining a song mid performance. Not to mention the Electro Harmonix forums are absolutely flooded with users requesting a firmware update allowing for push button erasing on the stop switch. Rather than even respond to their pleas EH just released a more expensive pedal, so I'm not inclined to invest in them anymore.

I dearly miss the power/versatility of Loopy and the ipad rig, I am going to take your advice and try tonestack, thanks for help!

5 years on and from the announcement and still no release. Is parenthood really that debilitating ? Great filmmakers, musicians, artists, engineers, scientists have managed prolific careers while maintaining families 🤔

When you let the mother raise your child on her own like everyone used to do... it was quite pretty easy to pursue a career. I think nowadays fathers are way more involved in parenthood (and i think it's for the best).

Of course i am too eager to hear from Loopy pro dev (as i come on this website since 5 years tracking every news on loopy pro), but life is what it is .

I've long since stopped trying to guess at that, I'm afraid, @amtabuchi - but I'm starting to get a bit more traction on it lately. I'm hoping to have something to release in the next 12 months, maybe sooner. We'll see, though. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Ive been drooling over ZenAud.io ALK lately with its sequenced looping approach. It basically eliminates the need for any pedals or tap dancing during performance (unless you want to). I hope Loopy MP will have something like that because ALK doesn't run on iOS (yet).

Oh yeah, Loopy Pro's got that in it - it's using the same sequencer stuff as in Samplebot (with some enhancements, like actually having it trigger record on blank tracks), so you can record a set, and then have it play back all the moves you made, or manually sequence them in.

oo the endless possibilities!
I don't think there is a single thing right now I'm looking forward to more than this. (maybe humans landing on Mars haha)
